- I LOVE to zoom in, but the camera I have right now isn't great for doing that. When I was shooting with film I had a wonderful long lens with manual focus. I'm hoping to get a GOOD digital SLR with interchangeable lenses this year so I can get back to my beloved close photography. My favorites of all your terrific shots in this lens are the dragon fly and the froggy hugging the child's arm. You've got a great eye!

- Hello Pastiche and thanks for stopping by and the cudos too! I don't have the exact lens I want either. Some of the close up pictures on here were taken with my older slr camera before I got the digital, I am in the process of digitizing more of my archived slides. I do the best I can until I can afford the macro/zoom lens..... or even better, a separate zoom and separate macro....I'm dreaming big...LOL!

- Awesome. Macro photography is probably my favorite kind of shooting. Always gets you thinking what the world is made up of. The frog on the arm is an awesome shot.
